        Why not? They could offer you three and then terminate after one.

          Are you sure you're cut out to be a contractor?

              LOL. Of course they could. But accepting one month ties me in for the month.

              Why accept a 1 month contract which will result in future dicking around when it means coughing up other good opportunities (more money, hopefully less dicking around) I've got on the go? A risk certainly but isnt that what contracting is about.

              If you dont like the offer, reject it and move on to something else.

                It just seems REALLY unlikely that you've managed to make that decision without another 7 page thread.

                You've confused everyone now

                    Which brings you through until the start of December... nice little xmas break there.

                      Of course, there is that to consider. Better to get a month in before xmas and then only 4 weeks until hopefully it picks up in jan

                      One way of looking at it?...
